We are loving Washington DC. Today we saw the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Thomas was not impressed... He said, "can we leave yet, we have been looking at PAPERS for 2 hours!" We then visited the Washington monument, the WWII memorial and the Lincoln memorial. It was awesome. We saw the white house and the capital building in the distance. It was a historic day. Thomas got a little tired of walking and started to complain, so I said, " buddy- what will you do in the military when you have long walks carrying heavy equipment? ". He said," Mom, I don't have to walk that far to get in my jet!"
We checked into a hotel for the next 2 nights and the kids are so excited they can hardly stand it. We have spent the last 23 nights on the boat. Anna said, " Mom,I am sleeping in jumping jack position tonight!". Emily took a long bath and has not stopped talking about the big bed to sleep in tonight!! What a gift to have this freedom. What a great place to remember the cost of freedom, what the country's founding fathers gave up for us to have it, and before that- what our Savior gave up to guarantee it eternally!
